HELP!!! ALTERNATE SOURCE OF FOOD

Postby MONA » Sat Sep 10, 2005 12:39 pm

I have approximately 75 monarch caterpillars and no milkweed. I only planted 6 milkweed plants. All of these caterpillars came from those 6 bushes. My cousin has a Monarch waystation and will have a stock of milkweed to me by 9/14/2005. I was wondering what else I could feed them in the meantime. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
